All the major political parties recognise compulsory purchase powers are an important tool for assembling land needed to help deliver social, environmental and economic change.
Since 2004, there has been very little Government led reform of CPO law and practice, with change being piecemeal and often only for specific processes. The CPA has secured some reforms and case law has achieved more.
But the last budget at the end of this Government has suggested a significant change in policy with the publication of a major reform proposals and, if implemented, will make significant changes to existing CPO practice. Some of the changes proposed are controversial and there is no guarantee whether any will be enacted by the next Government. It is therefore vital that practitioners have their say on what is being proposed, to try to influence the next Administration and secure real and meaningful change.
The stated goal of the proposed changes are to improve the CPO process; to make it clearer, faster and fairer, in order to bring forward more brownfield land for development.
Are the Government’s proposals likely to deliver their aims? Or create unintended consequences?
Hear what is being proposed, hear the commentary from leading members of the industry and have your say.
